New Icons

[meathead100]

I thought of trying a "blown" light but decided it might make the word too hard to read. There could be some clever flickering or blinking, but that would probably get annoying pretty quickly and just make load times longer. Old & broken is probably not the message you want to send anyway...

Maybe try a few other colour schemes. Red on blue (or blue on red) is notoriously hard to read.

I like it!

The Application icon is now deployed, so it's just the in-app icons that need finished off.

Anyone up to completing the set (https://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/gfx/icons) in the same kind of style?

I think the following are the only remaining ones that could do with an overhaul.

Here are some versions for the rest of the icons. Sorry for the delay.

Any chance you could PM me the full set? There were some different play/pause buttons on the previous pages too. Would be good if we had the masters for those too.

I might try get these into the GUI at the weekend so we can see what works and what doesn't

Thanks!

[nikpawlak]

Yeah. I want to refine the help info and error buttons a bit and ill send them your way.

Hi everyone,
I recently had to encode a video. During the encoding I doodled something for handbrake.
I read somewhere that the cocktail was necessary, but I allowed myself to change the glass
What do you think?



I really appreciate your great work, so don't hesitate if you need some design work.

We're happy with the current icon, but thanks!

Will the app icon be changed to OSX Yosemite style perhaps?

[nikpawlak]

Im willing to update the in app icons to better suit the new styling in 10.10

[s55]

Up to you really. if it's something you want to do, feel free. I don't have any real objections. I'm not sure what HB looks like on 10.10 but we should probably look using the new native header bar on it. This may or may not force us to change the icons.

Based on the Yosmite screenshots I've seen, It looks like they still have the grey style buttons, but are maybe a bit thinner.

If you want, maybe post a few samples and we can see how they fit in?

Fwiw though, I see no reason to change the app icon. It doesn't need to be in the style of app apps. Most apps have a non-os style icon anyway

[meathead100]

Anyone interested in a flatter "Yosemite/iOS 8" look I have this available...

Larger image with transparency is attached.

Looking good. Do you have a psd for it? Might try it out in the app.

[meathead100]

Glad you like it. Since there seems to be some interest, I tweaked it a bit further. It wasn't created in Photoshop, but here's a PSD with some control over the glass transparency.

Apple's icons in Yosemite have still got shadows and textures. The current icon looks better on it then the proposed one imho.

[meathead100]

I don't think anyone was proposing a change to the official icon. I supplied this as an option for anyone who may prefer it. Since I created the art for current icon, I thought I'd take a stab at it for fun. FWIW, I prefer the current one as well.

[nikpawlak]

Is there a build of HB for Yosemite that i could run to test new icons on?

[s55]

Any build should work fine. No code changes required to make it run under 10.10

[nikpawlak]

Yeah, it runs well, not sure if there was a build that took advantage of any of the new UI elements.
